View 5 RepliesHow to hide from our clients (end users: Plesk customers/resellers) any message related to Apache configuration files failed, like this one:
"Error: Web server configuration for some of your domains may be inconsistent. Please contact server administrator to resolve the problem."
We already see the message within Plesk admin interface, so our customers don't really need to see that, as there's nothing they can do for that.
I've got a e-mail notification problem since i upgraded from Plesk 11.5 to Plesk 12: One specific Application Update for customer X is being sent to all my customers.
Last week we did have a problem with a busted customer portal. ( not customer X, plus still on Plesk 11.5 ) I fixed this by using this procedure: [URL] ..... Restored two records and problem solved.
As a temporary resolution we disabled Application Updates for our customers, but I do want that my customers receive Application Updates, but just the one where they are the recipient.
Just an open-ended question that's been bugging me lately. As the industry moves to a more automated approach, I was wondering if cPanel users would likely move to another CP if it was fully automated (including the migration).
Either a custom solution or H-Sphere, if it meant you had one login for all of your services/no need to contact support for anything except actual problems.
We have been getting a high quantity of requests for our VPS's with CPANEL preinstalled.
However, we feel that CPANEL uses way too many resources, and honestly its a bit expensive for what it does.
So, here's the deal, WHY CPANEL, and not Open source alternatives such as ISP Config?
Please give me some other Open Source (aka free), Web Hosting panels, as part of this poll!?
I personally always have favored doing everything on the 'bare' system, this is why CPANEL doesn't make too much sense for myself.
So, what is it about cpanel and plesk, etc thats so much better against the free options out there?
It is possible to show resources usage stat. to customers?
Any addons & scripts?
This is very important function, but cpanel didn't have it.
I created same thread to forums.cpanel.net but no replies.
Just wondering how I can disable the backup function in my customers cpanel. I do not want them to have the ability to backup, as it takes up a lot of space. Is it in the WHM backup section? Not sure which option it correlates to.

Are there other features/offerings that a reseller is looking for? Are there things that would prevent you from reselling for someone if they didn't offer them?
Who are currently the best server providers to resell for and why?
Can anybody name some bandwidth/port resellers such as XtremeBandwidth was back in the day? I'm looking for someone who can get me multiple price quotes from various providers at an odd location.

For some reason I can't purchase from them directly, they do not accept PayPal nor accepting my credit card payments. Tried contacting them but it still doesn't work. I hope to find a reseller out there.
any VPS resellers that are using VMWare ESXi as their platform for their hosting plans?
Also, if anyone is familiar with VMWare, I am curious as to what you think of these hardware specifications and how many Linux based CentOS VMs I can comfortably run on this hardware:
Processor:AMD Opteron Quad-Core 1352 Barcelona 2.1GHz
Motherboard:Tyan S2925G2NR AM2 nVidia nForce 3400 ATX n3400B
Memory/RAM:Kingston 1GB 240Pin DDR2800 ECC Unbuffered
RAID Card:Adaptec AAR-2610SA 6Port SATA 64MB RAM
Hard Drive 1:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 2:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 3:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 4:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
There would be two RAID1's in a RAID10 configuration for the storage.
I have a dedicated business III linux root server (CentOS + Plesk) with 1and1.co.uk and have two domains purchased through them. What I want to do is set up resellers and then the resellers can point their own external domains to their reseller packages. To test the process, this is what I have done...
In the 123-reg.co.uk control panel (where I have my own list of domains), I change the nameservers from ns/ns2.123-reg.co.uk of example.com to ns59/ns60.1and1.co.uk and then proceed to set up web forwarding to my servers IP. Now, after setting up a reseller account through Plesk, I log in and click add the domain example.com. After waiting 24+ hours, when I type in example.com, I get the 'address not found' message through my browser. Clearly something is not set up right.
The only way I can host external domains is to use the domain control panel in the 1and1 screens to transfer an external domain to my root package - not an efficient way of setting up a reseller account.
Does anybody have any guideance on where I am going wrong? Do I need to set up my own nameserver for reseller clients to point their domains to?
just restored a server from an rsync backup. problem now is that i have a couple of hundred accounts all under root, when they're supposed to be resellers and sub accounts of resellers.
any idea if its just some file which contains all the mappings or do i need to go through all these hundreds of accounts and reassign them?
what changes we are supposed to do the server to provide our reseller their own custom nameservers? we do have management companies hired for issues but i really feel i should know this too.
View 3 Replies View Relatedwith most dns being able to be handled by the domain owner through register/godaddy, etc. are resellers/hosters still finding they need to run their own name servers? or do you tell customer the IP to change their A record to? doesn't seem like running your own dns server is such a requirement like years ago was.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it me, or are half the people selling dedicated servers on this site, just reselling BurstNet? I think there should just be a dedicated forum on the dedicated server sales forum for BurstNet resellers.
Just one of my rants.. hope I don't get knocked for this.
Anyone have any idea of a dedicated company which offers programs of reselling their dedicated servers. Must be able to do so without any conditions like "oh u gotta have first xyz number of servers with us" , and plz dont suggest burst.net dont want to deliver poor servers/services/network to customers.

Are there other shared rack colo providers in the Phoenix or Tucson area? Probably will start with 3-5amp draw and 2-3mbit. Are there other DC's I should be looking at? I don't thing I'd be a spec on the radar at Limelight.
how can I share IP with a reseller account so he can have his own private nameservers?
I WHM tweak settings, I have allowed sharing of IP for nameserver purposes.
Now whenever I try editing Privileges/Nameservers in reseller centre and adding a namserver, it tells me I am out or IP addresses?
Why is it doing it when I have checked the box for sharing of IP addresses?
Also can I simply do it by editing zone file of that reseller account and entering values manually?
It's been a long time since I have last transfered an account between 2 servers.
I have reciently purchased a VPS using Xen as an upgrade from my resellers account. Only problem that I am having is actually transfering the accounts between the 2 servers.
I do not have root access to the resellers account and the server that it is on has tight security. I have tried using the transfer between 2 servers method on WHM however this has failed.
I have also tried the method of backing up, transfering to the other server which works fine. However I am unable to restore the full backup.
I have also tried the Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file [url] is WHM of my VPS however it is unable to find the backup files.
(SSH is also my week point when it comes to server knowledge)
I'm considering moving my servers into Fremont II data center with HE. I have a small operation with about 7 servers, all fairly low powered. But I like the idea that it is staffed 24x7 because sometimes I screw up and lock myself out of my box and have to drive down there to fix my stupid mistakes.
I'm basically looking for 1/2 cab with 1/2 cab power (7.5 - 10 amps) - like to have up to 50mb bandwidth (currently running about 30 now). Need block of 64 IP addresses. So it's a little small to buy from HE directly.
I do web hosting email hosting and spam filtering. Nothing too controversial except occasionally the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org) will ask me to host a site that other hosts were scared off by bogus legal threats. (powerpage.org is an example) So need someone who isn't scared off over a truly bogus threat.
So - I'm looking for information about HE resellers. I've seen ads for servertweak and EGIhosting and a few others and wondering about if they are any good or are there others that I should be considering. Or anything I should know about HE?
I'm especially interested if I can make a deal with someone to trade out spam filtering services for colo space. I have the best spam filtering on the planet.
When I logged on to one of the reseller accounts this morning, I noticed that all of my customers can see, and use the packages that are only meant for the root account. how can I make this stop!
